I have suffered from depression, low self esteem, lack of confidence, motivation, etc.


These are all such hard things to cope with and really do help a R go into a decline. Being able to change these out looks will make a huge difference for you.

I hate the OM too but have not shouted or screamed at him or harmed him even when my wife baited me to.


It's better not too in the long run - I always came away feeling I had belittled myself.

Quote:
I do not understand my reaction to losing my wife and children and it haunts me to think that I did not fight for her when I had the chance. I feel like I was a wimp and that was one of the reasons she left.


I imagine you were in shock. Now though is the time when you can rectify all that.

Keep up that PMA and working on GAL and she will see you for the man she married again. Hopefully you will begin to see the 'old' W returning as well.

I hope you are doing OK today \:\)
